I studied Biology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where I completed a minor in biomolecular sciences For my bachelor’s internship, I worked at the department of Anesthesiology and Cardiology at the Amsterdam UMC (AMC location), focusing on blood coagulation during acute aortic dissections.
After obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I started a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences, also at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, with a research specialization in Immunology and Infectious Diseases. During my master’s, I completed two internships in Leiden. The first was in the Department of Surgery, in the group of Wilma Mesker, where I studied collagen networks in pancreatic cancer. The second was here in the Department of Immunology, in the group of Vincent van Unen, where I investigated microbiota-reactive T-cells targeting the commensal Ruminococcus gnavus in healthy donors.
As of April 7th, 2025, I will be continuing my work as a technician in the Mucosal Immunology group! I will be working on organoids, T-cell lines and patient material while also providing technical support on various other projects.
